BEREA, Ohio -- Brandon Weedens not worried, so he figures everyone else should chill out. Relax. The games dont really count yet. Weeden struggled and Clevelands first-team offence sputtered during Saturday nights exhibition loss to Indianapolis. Following positive performances in the Browns first two preseason games, Weedens bumpy outing brought out some here-we-go-again comments by his critics and renewed anxiety among Cleveland fans with the Sept. 8 season opener against Miami quickly approaching. Weeden, though, isnt uneasy. "I dont think there is any reason to push the panic button like a lot of people want to," Weeden said Monday before practice. "But weve got to learn from it and weve got to get better. Weve got to take the things that we didnt do very well and correct them and get better come Thursday (at Chicago) and moving forward when we play Miami." Clevelands offence didnt click against the Colts in a 27-6 loss. After completing his first six passes, Weeden, who was so impressive in the Browns first two exhibitions, was off the mark on some easy throws and forced a couple passes that should have been intercepted. The Browns didnt score on their first seven possessions, and coach Rob Chudzinski left his starters in for an extra series in the third quarter just so they could get a feel-good field goal. There were dropped passes, two critical penalties, a fumble by wide receiver Greg Little and Weeden was often under pressure as Clevelands offensive line had a tough time with Indys quickness. It didnt look good, but Weeden said it wasnt all bad and the Browns can learn from their mistakes. "There were some things we missed, thats going to be like that every game," Weeden said. "We just couldnt get any momentum going. Its tough when you get in third-and-long situations, we made it tough on ourselves. Their defence played outstanding. Their coverage was great all night. Ive watched the tape four times and all four times their coverage was really, really good. "So, you gotta give credit where credit is due. They played well and weve got to play better." Indianapolis was a playoff team last season and is at a much higher level than St. Louis or Detroit, Clevelands first two preseason opponents. The Colts may have brought the Browns back to earth, ................ them in the "dress rehearsal" for the regular season. To Weeden, thats not a bad thing. "Sometimes you need that," he said. "You need a little slap in the face to say Listen, youve got to keep continuing to grind. Its human nature to get a little ahead of yourself, but what better timing? It doesnt count in the win-loss record for the regular season. We can correct all the mistakes we made, so we knew it was not going to be perfect all the time. "Its just impossible to play 20 games throughout the regular season, perfect games. Its just not going to happen. Wed been pretty good the first two games. Now its just how do we deal with that adversity? How do we move on? Itll be a big step for us." Weeden said Clevelands simplistic game plan may have contributed to the Browns not moving the chains. And as for his "panic button" comment, Weeden said that if there is any negativity, its coming from outside Clevelands facility. "The attitude in here has been great, so its not in this room," he said. "Were excited. We saw the mistakes, but they are all fixable. That one is behind us and now were looking forward to Chicago and thats going to be here before we know it." On Sunday, Chudzinski said its possible Clevelands starters could play a few series this week against the Bears. Most NFL coaches resist putting their first-teamers on the field in the final preseason game to avoid any unnecessary injuries. But Chudzinski is more concerned that if his starters sit this week, there will be a 14-day gap between live action. "Thats a decent amount of time without playing a game," Chudzinski said. "Thats something that weighs into it." Other factors hell consider will be Clevelands choppy game in Indy as well as an inexperienced team that needs to grow. The best way to promote that is to play. Weeden would welcome a chance to work out any kinks on the field against the Bears. "If thats what he wants to do, absolutely," Weeden said. "Im a creature of habit and I like to prepare and I like to not take a ton of time off and skip anything that I normally do. I like as many reps as I can get. I feel good where I am; I feel comfortable within the offence and as far as the preparation leading up to it. "I feel good, but I wouldnt mind playing a few series if thats the direction he wants to go." ---- NOTES: Rookie LB Barkevious Mingo watched practice as he continues to recover from a bruised lung.

RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have called a news conference for Friday morning amid a report they have reached a contract extension with coach Pete Carroll. NFL Network reported Thursday night, citing a "source," that Carroll and the Seahawks had reached agreement on a contract extension. Carrolls original five-year deal with Seattle was set to expire after the 2014 season. The Seahawks announcement did not specify the nature of the news conference and team officials would not confirm the report of an extension for Carroll. Carroll reached the top of the NFL last season, leading the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl title. Lured away from USC in 2010 with the chance at complete control over the football operations, Carroll tore down then rebuilt the Seahawks roster into one of the best in the NFL. Hes 38-26 in four regular seasons with Seattle and 5-2 in the playoffs. Carroll has made competition the benchmark of his time in Seattle. Its why quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman have become stars -- because they were given opportunities in Carrolls system. Carroll, 62, is the second oldest coach in the NFL, but rarely appears his age. He came to Seattle because of the chance he didnt have in his two previous stops as an NFL head coach: control. Seattle gave him the reins to the franchise, and hired him before adding general manager John Schneider to the mix, a relationship that has been marked by stability and success. Carroll lacked control in his previous positions with New England and the New York Jets. But after a decade of winnning with the Trojans and having that control, it was something Carroll demanded if he was going to get back into the professional ranks and the Seahawks were willing.dddddddddddd Seattle also let Carroll imprint his attitude on the locker room. He wanted a fun atmosphere filled with accountability. Competition was at the crux of everything Carroll did from the day he inherited a 5-11 team. Carroll took Seattle to the playoffs in his first season despite a 7-9 regular season record. The Seahawks plateaued in 2011 going 7-9 again but took a jump in 2012 after drafting Wilson. The Seahawks went 11-5 in the regular season and reached the divisional round of the playoffs. The roster turnover had been completed and there were massive expectations going into 2013. Seattle matched and surpassed those expectations. Carroll guided Seattle to 13 wins in the regular season, the NFC West title and home-field advantage in the playoffs. Seattle knocked off New Orleans in the divisional round, then edged San Francisco in the NFC title game to reach its second Super Bowl. At the Super Bowl, Carroll got to celebrate the way he did watching USCs run of dominance in the mid-2000s. Seattles defence stifled the highest scoring offence in NFL history, humbling Denver in a 43-8 beating to give Seattle its first title. After the season Carroll sounded as if he was locked in to a long future with the Seahawks. "Were trying to do something really good for a really long time and we want to see how far we can go and someday, we look back and see what we accomplished," Carroll said.
